In How to Save the City, Paul Chatterton invites the reader to
engage with the challenges of living and working in cities at a
time when several conflating emergencies have become more pressing
and connected. While the climate crisis is the most urgent, we also
face deep social crises in housing, gender and race inequalities,
the breakdown of our natural world, our energy consumption, and the
deep ripples resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. These
emergencies are playing out in acute ways in urban areas. Locked in
to high energy, high resource use, cities are responsible for about
three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, have ecological
and carbon footprints far bigger than their city limits, and are
the beating heart of our pro-growth, unequal, consumer-saturated
way of life. The city has to change, but how and by whom?
Chatterton engages, inspires and empowers the reader to take action
to make cities more sustainable, liveable and safer places. He
guides the reader through a sequence of challenges, strategies,
players, moves and practical tactics of how to save their city.
